At Morrisville, on the opposite aide

presideDt OF tbs Dayton Hedge Com.
psny. Mr.. Young WAS delighted to
meet such large company OF farmers,
and gave them hearty welcome.
Taxing bs.ckB that Mr.. Young had In
waiting the whole company was Is ken
down along the Delaware river shore TO
whsre the hedges were growing. 1t 10
only necessary 70 ray that after seeing
the fences in their various stages OF de-
velopment, only one mind pervaded the
visitors. some among them had been
disposed TO doubt the seemingly ex
trsyaRant representations m ade by for
mer visitors. bas when they saw the
fence for them selves, and tested iIs
strength and every other point con meet.
I'd with 1t, they came TO the conc, u 3ion
that no extrsvagSnt language had been
used In describing IL, but that enough
had not been said.
Many Of the practical farmers OF the
company could hardly believe that the
handsome fences before them had been
made fren the neglected, strsgelin q
hedges that seemed like q mo3kery to
call iences After the company had
viewed all the fences they were driven
TO the American hotel In Trenton, where
@ splendid farmers dinner had been
prepared by the thoughtful president,
Mr.. Young, for his farmer gueets. 1t Is
neea less to say that the dinner was par.
taken Of with that eaefrnees iDrpired
only by hungry stomschs. After din
ner the company met In the reception
parlors Of tho hotel and unanimously
sssented to the following points:
TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 22d, 1887 -
At the solicitation of agents Of the
Dayton (Ohio) Hedge Company we
have this day visited fences constr ucted
upon the plSn OF the company named
and after critical examination OF tbs
game We Voluntarily and freely unite
In saying that It is superior 10 any
other fence that we have ever seen IN
the following points:
l,t The plashing OF the osage stalk,
dwarf5 the roots and prevents then
from spreading more than foot fIom
the base.
81. The prevention Of the roofs frou
spreading ineures tbs cultivation OF thr
ground and the rAising Of perfect crop
close up to the hedge.
81. The bending Of the Usage stalk
81 the ground sends the young shoot
out from the roots, which interlacini
themselves with the inclined stalks snt
the wires make tight vebwork from
the ground to the top, and proof agains
the incursions Of tho smallest liv
, stock.
4th. The wires and the oeage stalk
being firmly stapied together aud inter
laced with young shoots, no furious bull
can break through IL, nor push 1t down
b.. nor winds blow 1t over.
5sh. Covering little space It Is M or
easily kept In order than any otfe
ience made of osaae orange plants.
9Th. 1t Is not only useful but highl
ornamental. No dead wood gather,
and no haunts created for email an
mals tina, often nibble and kill th
stalks.
7th. 1t will last with care the longe,
= lifetime, and is therefore the cheape,
fence that can he made.
8:h. We have no hesitation In recon
; mendiDg this fence to the farmers {
New CASTLE County, Del, and DELI
J ware County, Pa.
Finally, our thanks are hereby e,
tended to the Dayton Hedge Compsn
for the pleasure OF the day, and the IL
formation we have received In reserenc
to hedge fences.
